Re: You're Crazy |
It boggles my mind AR believe me, but I definitely think it's sociological. A lot of my friends are into the electronic/techno scene, and their drugs of choice are "uppers." Hence they do not enjoy "mellow" music of any sort. This still doesn't explain to me how they can discount hundreds of energetic Dead performances, especially from the late '60s where, to me at least, the energy is just off the chain. Again, I think it just also comes back to ignorance and close-mindedness; I don't think they've been exposed to a lot of these recordings, nor do they wish to be...

Re: You're Crazy |
another post of genius. Good stuff AR and rain and snow as well. It definitely has something to do with the whole funky grooves that phish does, peoples ADD, GD's mellow jams or slow tunes. And like AR said, its cultural. And yes AR, there (IME) are more phish haters of the dead than vice versa. Its also much easier, IMO, to turn a dead head onto phish than vice versa. I have a buddy that is hardcore phish head but totally gets the dead and loves them. He actually gets dark star and the other one etc. It took a while to convert him, but once he understood Morning Dew from barton hall, well he realized how epic the dead can be. hooked ever since :)
